ABOUTme

Katariina Kirsanova
Born in Helsinki, Finland, 2001

Currently living in Helsinki and studying in Aalto-university.

My work is based on synesthesia — the blending of senses, where colors, shapes, and textures merge with music, emotions, and people. My pieces are visual interpretations of my inner experiences, where colors and light take on almost a living form.

I use a variety of materials and techniques, including painting, installations, and light art. I explore how sensory experiences can be transformed into a visible world and how what I feel internally can be shared with others. My art invites the viewer to step into the world of synesthesia for a moment, a space where sound transforms into color and people radiate their own unique glow.
